Dump Tyres Built for South African Conditions
What We Supply
Your dump trucks operate in some of the harshest environments imaginable. Sharp rock, abrasive surfaces, steep gradients, heavy loads, and long haul distances all push tyres to their limits. We supply dump tyres specifically engineered for these demanding applications.
Whether you’re running articulated dump trucks on a construction site, rigid dump trucks in an open-pit mine, or off-highway haul trucks in a quarry, we source tyres that match your specific equipment and operating conditions.
We stock and supply dump tyres for various applications, including articulated dump trucks (ADTs), rigid-frame dump trucks, off-highway dump trucks, and haul trucks. Our range covers equipment from leading manufacturers, including Caterpillar, Volvo, Bell, Komatsu, and Terex.
The tyres you need depend on more than just size specifications. Your operating surface matters. Haul road conditions make a difference. Load weights and cycle times affect tyre performance. We take time to understand your operation before recommending tyres that will actually perform in your conditions.
Why Choose ForkNTire for Dump Tyres in Durban
Specialised Experience Since 2008
We've focused on industrial and heavy equipment tyres for over 16 years. During that time, we've supplied dump tyres to mining operations, construction companies, and quarries throughout South Africa. This experience gives us genuine insight into what works in different applications.
You won't get generic recommendations from us. We understand that dump tyres for a granite quarry face different challenges than tyres for a coal mine. Construction site conditions differ from hard rock mining environments. We match tyres to your specific situation.
Understanding of South African Operating Conditions
Based in Durban and serving clients across South Africa, we understand the conditions your dump trucks face. We know the abrasive nature of South African rock types. We're familiar with the heat, dust, and challenging terrain that affect tyre performance in this region.
This local knowledge helps us recommend dump tyres that perform reliably in your actual working environment, not just in ideal conditions.
Quality Products at Competitive Prices
Heavy-duty dump tyres represent a significant investment for your operation. We help you get the best value through competitive pricing on quality products. Our relationships with manufacturers and suppliers allow us to offer better prices without compromising on the tyre specifications you need.
Every dump tyre we supply meets strict quality standards. We work with reputable manufacturers who share our commitment to performance and reliability. You get tyres built to handle your operating conditions.
Responsive Service When Time Matters
Dump truck downtime is expensive. An idle 40-tonne ADT or a stationary haul truck costs you money every hour it sits waiting for tyres. We respond quickly to enquiries and maintain stock levels that allow us to supply commonly used dump tyres without lengthy delays.
For urgent requirements, contact us directly on 031 702 6335. We'll assess availability and work to get your equipment back in operation as quickly as possible.
Our Dump Tyre Range for Durban Operations
Articulated Dump Truck (ADT) Tyres
ADTs need tyres that handle both on and off-road conditions whilst carrying heavy loads over rough terrain. We supply ADT tyres with tread patterns designed for traction on soft ground, steep gradients, and challenging surfaces. These tyres balance flotation with load capacity, reducing ground pressure whilst maintaining stability.
ADT tyres face unique demands. They need to provide traction when fully loaded, climbing steep ramps, remain stable during articulation on uneven ground, and resist damage from sharp rocks and debris. We source ADT tyres built for these specific requirements.
Rigid Frame Dump Truck Tyres
Rigid dump trucks typically operate in mining and large quarry environments where they travel on established haul roads. We supply rigid dump truck tyres designed for these applications, offering heat resistance for continuous operation, cut resistance for sharp rock environments, and the load ratings required for heavy mining operations.
These tyres need to handle tremendous loads whilst maintaining stability and providing acceptable tyre life in abrasive conditions. We work with you to select tyres that balance performance with cost per tonne hauled.
Off-Highway Haul Truck Tyres
Large off-highway haul trucks demand tyres built to exceptional specifications. We supply haul truck tyres designed for mining and heavy quarry work, with reinforced construction to handle massive loads and the durability needed for continuous operation in harsh environments.
Haul truck tyre selection affects your operation's efficiency and safety. We provide expert guidance on choosing tyres that suit your haul distances, road conditions, and maintenance capabilities.
Rock and Quarry Dump Tyres
Quarry operations expose tyres to particularly abrasive and damaging conditions. Sharp aggregate, rocky surfaces, and continuous contact with harsh materials require specialised tyres. We supply rock-type and quarry-specific dump tyres with extra-deep treads, enhanced cut resistance, and robust construction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dump Tyres in Durban
Expert Answers to Common Dumb Truck Tyres Questions
Radial dump tyres have steel belts running across the tread, providing better heat dissipation, longer tread life, and improved fuel economy. They typically cost more initially but often provide better value over their lifetime in applications with good haul roads and controlled conditions. Bias tyres have nylon or polyester plies running diagonally, offering more sidewall flexibility and better resistance to sidewall damage. They're often preferred for severe service conditions with sharp rocks and rough terrain. We help you choose based on your specific operating conditions and economics.
Replace dump tyres when tread depth reaches the minimum safe level for your application, typically when 25-30% of the original tread remains. Also, replace tyres showing significant cuts or damage that expose cords, bulges or bubbles in sidewalls, irregular wear patterns that affect stability, or any damage that compromises structural integrity. Regular inspections help identify problems before they cause failures. We can provide guidance on inspection procedures and replacement criteria for your specific operation.
Yes. We source tyres for various dump truck models, including older equipment. If your trucks use less common tyre sizes, our supplier network helps us locate suitable options. Provide us with your current tyre specifications or equipment details, and we'll confirm availability and pricing. In some cases, we may be able to suggest alternative tyres that fit your equipment and offer improved performance.
We arrange professional fitting and can organise on-site tyre changes for dump trucks, particularly useful for large equipment or operations in remote locations. On-site service helps minimise downtime and transport costs. Contact us to discuss your requirements, equipment size, and location. We'll arrange appropriate fitting services for your situation.
Multiple factors influence dump tyre life, including haul road conditions and maintenance, operating speeds and cycle times, load management and weight distribution, inflation pressure maintenance, operator behaviour and driving techniques, ambient temperatures and heat buildup, and the abrasiveness of materials being hauled. In typical South African mining and quarry conditions, with proper maintenance, you can expect 3,000 to 8,000 hours from quality dump tyres, depending on these factors. We provide guidance on maximising tyre life through proper practices.
For urgent requirements, contact us immediately on 031 702 6335. If we have the tyres in stock, we can often arrange same-day delivery for operations in the greater Durban area. For tyres that need to be ordered, we expedite the process and provide realistic timeframes. We understand that dump truck downtime is costly, and we prioritise urgent requirements to get your equipment back in operation as quickly as possible.
